ART WAR I 2D I Fließen the Truthseeker I GreyHound

GreyHound 2016-12-20 14:12:33 UTC #1

I'm an aspiring concept artist recently graduated as a multimedia designer, currently waiting for my intake for a concept art course.
- "Fließen" is the german word for "flow"
- I'll be doing scifi
- Bear in mind i'm taking this one slow, cheers *thumbs up

Fließen is a weapon of war programmed by the germans for justice however she sees fit. She will flow through the battlefield dancing, as her enemies fall like dead flies. Her past is unknown but even if you'd find out about it, you won't live long to tell it.
I decided to create a scifi valkyrie. I bet she'll be ready to take on anything team fantasy has to throw on her.

Sketched out some poses, couldn't figure out whether it should be male or female lmao.

I envisioned a few different takes on my champion, The first one was visualized as a special-ops cyborg assassin. My second take is heading towards that cyborg berserker kind of look ( her abilities are like the manics from warframe ). And the third one i kind of wanted something like a human in alien armor/ organic armor. Sorry for the really thin lines, that's how i sketch

WoW, I like the sword and the claw designs

A little more brainstorming, this time male.

So i decided to pick my berserker badass as my champion, i will develop her design sheet later on as i decided to do some changes ( hopefully for the better ). I gave her an axe and shield to complement her look. I sketched out some compositions and i'd like to know how they look I sorta gave a little title/ theme to each of them according to how they feel

GreyHound 2016-12-24 07:40:06 UTC #7

Brainstorming some single-handed axe designs, i really wanted them to look like it could do some serious blows as well as having proper functions such as being used as a throwing axe like the vikings did. Its hard to make them look sci-fi while not having them with that touch of fantasy

Do let me know which ones you guys think would be fitting, i'll be doing more in the mean time and the shield concepts are coming up soon.

4 and 5 are really cool. I also love those thumbnails you did! "Charge!!" is probably my favorite, lol. I can't wait to see those weapons fleshed out. They look awesome already!

GreyHound 2016-12-24 13:54:44 UTC #9

Heh thanks sanguine, honestly speaking i think you're the strongest runner in this competition for fantasy. Totally love your way of depicting your character!

Sketched some quick shield concepts before Christmas. I'll be doing something with the shield whereby it can perform some wombo combo with the axe.

GreyHound 2016-12-26 08:52:35 UTC #12

Trying out new compositions because I felt the pose felt very natural and pretty dynamic (I guess)

GreyHound 2016-12-26 08:54:57 UTC #13

With a little bit of color this time. Going for that Reinhardt Balderich skin kinda color scheme.

Lemme know what you think

Fris 2016-12-26 09:23:00 UTC #14

awesome job man but the character (to me) doesn't give the feeling that he is charging so what i did real quick was put his arms in a different postion to give him more motion and make him look more movable, hope this helps

Cool design i realy like it.
But you should change the text imho in german there is no upper ß but in most cases you use a double S instead. So when you want to write fließen in upper case it would be FLIESSEN the B is a bit irritating

GreyHound 2016-12-31 07:52:34 UTC #16

HAHA Alright man, I'm trusting you on this one

GreyHound 2016-12-31 07:53:44 UTC #17

Hey Fris, this was actually my original pose, but i thought about her left arm with the shield, it would take up too much space and i won't have room for detail on her body . I'll be coming up with more comps soon.

Fris 2016-12-31 07:59:18 UTC #18

ah...i see, my bad

GreyHound 2016-12-31 08:05:43 UTC #19

Nah don't worry, we all experiment till we get the best result possible right

Fris 2016-12-31 09:41:14 UTC #20

sounds about right, i am doing a ton of experiments on mine XD so i know what you mean

GreyHound 2017-01-01 06:09:20 UTC #21

Came up with a new comp, think this should be the one i'm going for, also i felt she needed a mount/ companion. Will be updating more regarding the mount later on.

Let me know what you think
